Re: 1000+ file project load times?

Hi

This may be getting off the original topic but I agree that the Project 
Management cold be revised....although I'm not sure whether Niko's 
'automatic' idea is the way forward.

Maybe we would be better served having 'Scan Project folder...' in all places 
throughout the project tree and not just at root level.

My work methods mean that I may add one new image file into the directory 
structure somewhere. Getting that file into the Quanta project means the 
whole project needs to be scanned...can't we scan just a selected folder 
instead?

I think either way would be an improvement, although the automatic way may be 
more resource intensive!

Other than that, Quanta is great - thanks Eric for leading and Andras for all 
your hard work.

regards
Simon
